I agree with all of the above. What a great idea to capture the passion of those working in all different areas of the archives. And I think that working with an archival collection is all about all of those things, history, finding individual voices, and helping people to fulfill their needs. For me particularly, I love the excitement of finding a hidden gem, and of really feeling the people of the past who have put their thoughts and lives and passions out there and that we now help to keep alive. To me it is an inspiring profession to work in.
